Hi,

This is a port of fheroes2. It builds an engine that can run Heroes of
Might & Magic 2 with many modern quality of life improvements. Some
features of note:

- more detailed preview of units on the map
- refined enemy AI
- Support for high resolutions
- bundled translations to several languages

You need to hav the non-free game data to run it - either from the game
itself (for example purchased at gog.com), or the demo. This needs to
be installed into /usr/local/share/fheroes2/data as the default
location where this port will look. See README for more...

I've tested it, playing the first 2 levels of the campaign, and it
works very well!

A few more notes about the port:

- The translation files are created during the port build. The current
  solution is a little clunky; adding individual settings for LANG and
  LC_CTYPE for all languages. There may be a more elegant solution, but
  I know too little about UTF-8 things...
- Note that the game isn't designed to keep the commercial data cleanly
  separated from other data. Therefore, if the game data is deleted,
  the translation files and resurrection.h2d should be left out.

comments? ok?
